Giving in to temptation could lead to serious problems, especially for teenagers. Computer games, cigarettes, alcohol and drugs can be traps that suck teens in and get them addicted.

Often peer pressure is to blame. In order to be accepted, teens may take up bad and dangerous habits.

Another factor is plain curiosity. Many teenagers are curious about forbidden things.

I believe that education at school and at home is crucial in warding teens off bad choices. Students have to be told about the consequences if they can't resist such temptations.

The government should try its best to make sure that alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and drugs are not available to teens.

But most importantly, we need to learn to say no - not only to our friends but also to ourselves.
